Subject: [QUESTION] Kprobes as a module?

Hi,

Probably a dumb question :).
What prevents the kprobes from being built as a module? We want to use
the kprobes on our systems, but some guys worried about potential
security problems. So it'd be great if we can enable/load kprobes as
needed and then disable/unload after using it. Is it a possible senario?

Thanks,
Namhyung
